Direct TV and fox question

Does anyone else in here have direct TV and can’t watch their local fox channel? Mine has been out for a month or so due to contract issue. Also live in Alexandria

If you have good internet, I recommend getting rid of DirecTV immediately and streaming instead. I was stubborn and didn't do it until this year. It's one of the best decisions regarding home entertainment I've ever made. Less equipment, half the price, higher quality format, no BS contract...etc.

In NOLA, we have Fox 8, but ABC 26 is not available. I think it has to do with the local affiliate, and not so much the broadcast network.

I'm in the same boat as OP. Hope they get this resolved before season games start. And the baseball playoffs.

Fox and NBC was gone for me. Had to cut em off for the upcoming NFL and College Football.

It is a contract issue with Nexstar Media.
You are going to need an Antenna or another provider.

I have Directv and live in South Louisiana and I have Fox. I don’t have ABC. I’ve been looking into either Hulu or YouTube TV, just haven’t pull the trigger yet.

Yep. We have been without nbc for a year! Now lost fox, and 1 other station.

Fox had issues with direct tv when I had it a year ago. The entire football season it was out

In Shreveport, FOX was out for over year. Now, it's other locals channels too. I left went to cable.

BTR area long time DirecTV customer here - no NBC for over 1 year and have been without FOX for a few months. Them going without FOX is the reason that I ended my service with them on Saturday after being a customer for over 16 years - now I am with REV (EATEL)

First FOX game is week 3. Hopefully this gets resolved by then even if it drags into the season a bit.

My poor mom has it - wanted to get her on YTTV but everything is bundled through ATT and it's just too tough to switch it all.

I just canceled Directv today. Looking at Hulu or YouTube tv. What the best option?

Dumped direct TV yesterday, moved to YouTube TV.

I have the same problem with fox living in avoyelles. Direct tv did this in 2019 I wanna say. I called and complained and they sent me a free digital antenna. Looks like I'll be using that agin.
